Livin' in the Woods

Grammy and Papa Ron came up to The Ham recently and Papa Ron found a turtle. He brought it up to the back deck so the girls could see it.

The girls were super excited and we were even able to have a family photo opt with the turtle. 

Well anyone who knows Jamie is fully aware that she is like one step away from being a card carrying member of PITA. So there was no question that we had to free the little turtle. Cilla Rose and Papa Ron were nominated for that tasks and she eagerly followed him down the steps to the side of the house. You would think this would be a fairly simple task...nothing is ever simple with us. I looked up and Cilla Roses' eyes were as big as basketballs. I then hear thump thump thu dump!!! I have never seen a turtle move so fast. Well maybe the better word is roll. That poor little turtle rolled 20 yards down the cliff out back of the house. Ok I am from Florida, anything more than 10 feet is a cliff to me. So of course Cilla Rose announces to everyone that the turtle has now been set free, or rolled free. Her mother very quickly looked at Dad and I like who is climbing down that "cliff" to check on the turtle. I love my dad, he very sharply informed PITA lady that the turtle had landed on his feet. I am pretty sure he did land feet side up even though I lost site of the little guy, I mean my Daddy said he did so it had to be true ; )
